This goes under the heading of 'you couldn't make it up'.

How about going to your father's funeral, only to be told by one of your
brothers not to waste your tears because he wasn't your father? And of the 3
men who you thought were your brothers, two of them were actually only
half-brothers?

My cousin's husband said this explained why his 'father' never liked him or
his true brother, and often made their lives a misery. By good fortune he
had known and liked the man who was his true father all his life, though
without being aware of the real relationship.
